We are so excited to invite you back to campus this fall to experience CCU together. Instead of just one singular weekend of fun set aside for CCU families, we now have several options of possible weekends designed for the entire family! Check out the list below to choose your family's adventure on a date that works best for you and around activities you enjoy together the most. Of course, you are always welcome to visit your student whenever works best for your family — these are just some featured favorites!
Come for a weekend, and enjoy some of the events on campus, eat in the Dining Commons with your student, and explore the beauty of Colorado. As an added bonus, siblings of CCU students may stay in the residence halls with the student. The student will need to complete a guest form to share this unique opportunity. Siblings must be 12 years or older and the same sex as the student to stay in their on-campus apartment.
